Private Equity Program

The Private Equity Program serves as the Business School's primary point of contact with the private equity industry, unifying students, alumni, and the business community into a single network. The Program has an active advisory board, a calendar of events throughout the year, and several research projects.

Deal Camp is a multi-day high-intensity learning event. A combination of interactive presentations and panels moderated by Columbia faculty feature a variety of private equity professionals and service providers in the industry all in an intimate setting.
